Our Beliefs

• Swiping, tapping, and waiting for screens to load is inefficient
• A universal search UI can solve this issue
• Android is designed to be an open system
• The data to create the most powerful universal search exists, but it needs to be integrated into a seamless experience
• Respecting user data leads to long-term success. Your data remains on your device; we don't store or sell it (see exceptions for bug fixing below)
• Our revenue comes from creating a quality product. Sesame is a voluntary purchase
• We focus on user-centered development: www.reddit.com/r/sesame
